I have not noticed anything with my gearbox, but with a lot of the SVTFs it is really hit or miss. Some have zero problems with it and others have pressure plate exploding which results in a hole in their bell housing.

I would contact Ford and let them know that you are aware that theres a TSB on this problem and you may be able to get them to do a P05 on it which would leave you just paying a deductable.Though you are out on warranty, they have ways of doing that in "beyond warranty repairs".
As you know I bought my car used from the dealership. Sheehy Ford in Springfield to be exact. I had 30 days essentially where the dealership would pay for anything wrong with the car. This proved to be very valuable, because there were definitely a few things wrong, such as master cylinder replacement, rear hatch button inoperable, key fob broken, random check engine lights, battery light. There were definitely a few things. Buying it from the dealership definitely proved to be pretty valuable.
Right now I have a slight leak from my oil pan gasket that I need taken care of.
The Warranty box was checked when I bought the car, but I believe it is out of warranty.
